WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord
and grounded power supply system.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from
an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
When operating the tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”
or “W.”These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their
physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in
close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of
the pacemaker.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,
and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING: Handling the power cord on this product may expose you to lead, a
chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm.

Wash hands after handling.
